Onion Pachadi/ Chutney

Blogging Marathon# 32: Letter O Theme: A-Z Dishes from Andhra Pradesh Dish: O for Onion Pachadi (Chutney)/ Ullipaya Pachadi Letter O literally threw a curve ball at me. I couldn't think of a single ingredient or dish that starts with O. I had Ooragaya (pickle) written down in my list, but had no intentions of making any because I had so many pickles that had to be used up and I didn't want to make anything new.
